Considering cutting class? You may be digitally tracked while doing so

No one will notice if you skip class, right? Think again. The New Canaan Public School System in Connecticut is experimenting with radio frequency identification (or RFID) tags, which give school officials the ability to track the location of students and teachers on school grounds.

Students’ movements and expensive school property like computers and equipment will be monitored through ID cards and tags, which have had RFID chips implanted in them.

Numerous students and parents object to the new policy, claiming that it is a drastic step and an invasion of privacy. The school system claims that implementation of RFID tags will make the school environment more secure while eliminating the possibility of students skipping classes or leaving campus.

Would you feel safer knowing that your school has the ability to track your whereabouts? Or do you feel that this is a breach of privacy? Blog it out, babes!

That is so dumb! At my school we take role in every class and over the computers it goes to the main office. If your name does not come up when it should they know you skiped. We also put out role lists that say who was there at the start of the day and if you miss a day of school you get a piece of paper that says you were gone so that your teachers know if you were gone or skiped.

thats a HUGE invasion of privacy!!! i would NEVER let my school do that!! thats horrible!!! i mean our school has security cameras in every hallway just not in the bathrooms so if they needed to check if someone was constantly cutting they could; but TRACKING everyone 24/7???!!! thats freaking retarded!
